Experience the extraordinary life of one of America’s most groundbreaking and controversial performers in this critically acclaimed one-man theatrical production. "I'm Not A Comedian... I'm Lenny Bruce" is returning to the Chicagoland area for a limited 3 performance engagement after successful runs at the Royal George, Venus Cabaret @ Mercury Theater, Biograph Theater and North Shore Center for the Performing Arts!
Funny, provocative, heartbreaking, and remarkably relevant, I’m Not a Comedian… I’m Lenny Bruce goes beyond the legend to reveal the complicated man behind it. The production has captivated audiences through nearly 500 performances across the country, including extended runs in New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago.
This is not a traditional stand-up comedy performance, but an intimate theatrical portrait of an artist whose influence on comedy, culture, and free expression continues to resonate today.
Following the performance, Ronnie Marmo will join the audience for a special 15-minute talkback, offering a rare opportunity to hear directly from the acclaimed actor about his experience portraying the legendary Lenny Bruce.
